Can anyone comment on WM6 and voice command over bluetooth

[mpovolo]

Curious if it works properly now with voice commands initiated and received over bluetooth plus incomming call announcements over bluetooth.

thanks

Works fine for me on my JX-10.

My Jabra BT8010 works well so far with voice command.

FYI; The default mode on the BT8010 is "music mode" This means if you push the large center BT8010 button into your head, it is the pause/play button for Media Player. Here's what you do.......

You have to press the (mode) button at the tip of the BT8010 once to turn off music mode. *icon will change on LCD screen) Now when you press the large center BT8010 button into your head, you'll then hear the voice command boobeep and it works great!

BT question:

Are we supposed to be able to activate our bluetooth headset durring a phone call already in progress? (you want to switch your headset on, in the midde of phone call) I was able to do this just fine on my iPAQ 6900. I noticed that if I activate bluetooth durring a phone call, the system/phone audio will not transfer to the bt headset unless I hang up the current phone call first. The system icon will show it's connected though! I then have to hang upt and call them back and my headset works as it should. This also happened on my 750 via WM5, but I was hoping the new 750 WM6 would fix this. (just updated)

Is this the same behavior for everyone else or is it somethign to do with my BT8010?

I can transfer calls to my Motorola H700 just fine, but I heard the BT8010 dont work quite right with WM. I was actually interested in getting the BT8010's pretty soon - how well does it work? Is the call transfering during a call problem the only thing you've encountered? I've heard it takes away your ringtone(only rings in the headset - not from the phone) can you turn a2dp on/off with ease?

I can turn on my bluetooth (Aliph Jawbone) during the middle of a call and it will transfer the call to the headset.

I can also use VoiceCommand over the bluetooth headset.

my jawbone will initiate voice command over bluetooth, but as soon as I hear the beep of voice command it disconnects...

Strange. Mine allows me to say the command ... just tried it and dialed out to my brother.

I figured it out, I need to hit the action button my jabra before the audio is transfered over to the headset. (durring an already active phone call with bt turned on later/in the middle of it) This makes sense, since it allows you to control when the audio switches over in case you're not ready. In the past it was automatic. I remember a few times not having my headset on so it's better this way anyway. Everything works great.

Well VC is halfway working for me so far with my MotoHS850... I can make calls by speaking the name and then it dials fine. But VC is not announcing the Caller via BT, although I have that selected under VC settings.
I am also getting this odd behavior I described in detail here: http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=149924

I cant even get it to work without a BT headset... think it is my accent though.

For me, everything works fine so far using a Jabra BT5020 except for one thing. When I activate VC via the headset I get the prompt over bluetooth but then silence. The prompt then repeats over the handset, and it is only then that I am able to initiate a voice command. If I try to do it at the first prompt over the headset, the command won't make it to the phone. The commands are also not repeating over the headset. Anyone else experiencing this?

I too am having difficulties to get the Jawbone to activate Voice Commander v1.60.4622.0. It will start to open the phone connection but then that's it.

Also MS Voice Command is suppose to do more like open apps.; calendar, contacts, etc... nothing happens.

I know MSVC works, when I hit the activation button I set (which happens to be the Windows Start menu) it then will do the typical VC beep and then allow me to speak my command.

I'm thinking it's more a Jawbone thing. I did have it working on my 8525 but I killed that thing.

BT and VC work fine for me using Jawbone. You need to look at the help file on the Palm relating to the VC proper usage as it did not really work for me until I did some reading. There are very specific words you must use to get it to work i.e. Open Contacts FAILS but Show Contacts succeeds. Then Show "conatct name" will show you the person you are looking for. As far as initiating a call via BT headset, I press the Jawbone side button this gives me a tone then a pause then another tone then you speak your instructions i.e. Call John Smith, there will be a pause while the app looks for John Smith, then it will repeat the name to you and ask if you want to call John Smith at Home, Work, or mobile depending on what you have saved for that particular contact. I have noticed it isn't perfect. If you have a contact with a phonetically difficult name it would be wise to change the contact name to Bob B instead of Bettencourt as at times the VC doesn't understand the name spoken. Overall it works pretty good, much better than my old Razr and there is no setup involved just say the name and go.
